Gaby Foley talks about FLICKER her modern-day queer farce heading to Edinburgh Festival Fringe
The moment we read the first lines of the synopsis of FLICKER a new play heading to Edinburgh Festival Fringe, we knew we need to know more. It read “Have you ever thought about your dad’s c*ck at a funeral? If so, you’d probably dismiss it. But what if your brain couldn’t do that?” This hilarious modern-day queer farce. goes from one of many intrusive thoughts to a real feeling, but it= asks how do you know what’s true, or intrusive? If you can’t trust your own thoughts, what can you trust?
Flicker explores Pure OCD and is from the fevered mind of Gaby Foley a recent graduate from the Royal Welsh Drama School who has based so much of her own experiences into this her debut play . Although when QUEERGURU caught up with her she went out of her way to reassure us that she hadn’t ever really thought about her about her father’s genitalia
Flicker is playing at The Pleasance in Edinburgh for nearly all of August
